Paris Through My Eyes

HELLO! can't believe it's february already! january was such a busy month for me! so i apologize for the blog lag. :) i finally had some time to go over the images from our paris & london trip this week. man! i took a lot of pictures! so instead of posting single images, i chose images from each part of our trip and made a collage. the images i chose are my favs and are the ones that start a chain reaction of memories for me. :) i seriously can't wait to go back. i really really really love paris. and thanks baby for taking care of me and being such an awesome map reader. :) can't wait for more trips!

enjoy!



the start of our trip. :) passports, waiting to board and the inside of air france. i gotta say, i was a little disappointed in the movie selections they had. or maybe it was because i saw 90% of the movies that they had. lol. poor richie didn't even sleep in the plane and it was a 10 hour flight! thank goodness for the movies though. 5.5 movies and voila! you're in paris. :)







after we checked into our hotel, we took a night stroll around montmartre, which was a quick walk from our hotel. here are a few images before the sun totally disappeared. luckily, it wasn't raining the first night we were there. also, it wasn't as cold as i thought it would be. the last time richie was in paris (also in january), he said it snowed. and every time he told me the story of how he stood beneath the eiffel tower watching snow fall, i couldn't wait to get to paris! but no snow for me. -_-







Sacré-Cœur Basilica haha. i was wondering if we went inside but then i saw the collage and remembered we did! hah! the power of pictures! you're not allowed to take pictures inside, but the dare devil photographer in me had to click just once. the view from up here was gorgeous. i still couldn't believe we were in paris!







our hotel was conveniently located near the metro, which was awesome!







Musée du Louvre this museum is so gorgeous... and so big. we spent a good portion of our day here. so much to see!











you all know what this crowd is for, right? that's right. the mona lisa.







notre dame. that's richie writing a message of peace. :) i thought that was really really sweet. but i didn't get to read what he wrote because he threw it in the glass box before i could. wonder what he wrote...







love this shot of richie. you can see the rain drops on his jacket.







walking around paris, eating crepes and reading maps. :)







tour eiffel







LOVE this collage. we went up the tower and the view was spectacular. it was raining on and off the whole day but for a few minutes, the sun did peak out. the not so fun part was taking the stairs DOWN the eiffel tower... don't ask why. it was richie's decision. he didn't want to take the cable car. i think he likes it when i get vertigo.







finally at the bottom and so happy i made it.







and here we are at arc de triomphe. man! walking up and down the the narrow, spiral staircase was not my favorite part. but i can't complain. the view was well worth it.







la defense.







another favorite of richie. to me, this picture represents our first international trip together. :)







really really love this shot of the eiffel tower.



thanks guys for tuning in and i hope you enjoyed our pics from paris!
